my momma said to raise em up!

[mc1023]

the reasons to my madness and description of the two players.

UTG is tight/passive and likes to slowplay big hands but that's all I've seen of him so far since this is the first time we've sat together.

MP3 is very aware of that, he's a regular but a bit on the loose side I think it's because we've played so much SH together. He's 29/20 over 1200 hands.

On the flop UTG paused for a couple seconds and then decided ok I'm going to lead out after all, MP2 kind of hesistated before raising so I figured he's trying to squeeze me out.. my answer to this BS? RAISE!

the rest of the hand plays itself I think, had UTG on a big draw until he 3bet me on the turn, figured I'm showdown bound anyway so I'll capp his ass and fold to a river bet.

too excessive? thoughts?

Can you really fold the river for one bet? He would play A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or possibly a worse suited ace this way.
